Pentagon Officials Placed on Leave Amid Leak Investigation
Following an unauthorized disclosure investigation, two Pentagon officials, senior advisor Dan Caldwell and Deputy Chief of Staff Darin Selnick, were placed on administrative leave. The investigation, prompted by a March memo from Hegseth’s chief of staff, involves potential leaks of classified information. Caldwell is reportedly accused of sharing classified documents with journalists, and the probe follows reports of Hegseth’s involvement in communications regarding military actions. Further personnel actions are under consideration.
